RDS Radio

- Using the Radio Data System (RDS) -

Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)

●“PS”, “NO PS” and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not oper-

ate properly.

●If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests,

the RDS reception function may not work properly.

●When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the

station name may not be displayed.

●“NO PS” or “NO PTY” will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will

be displayed.

“TP” “TA” Meaning

Not lit Not lit Does not carry traffic announcements nor does it refer , via EON,

to a programme that does.

Not lit Lit Carries EON information about another programme which gives

traffic information.

Lit Not lit Carries traffic announcements but not at present and may also

carry EON information about other traffic announcements.

Lit Lit A traffic information is currently on air.

In the following cases, the EON stand-by mode will be cancelled.

●When you press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.

●When the unit is switched to another band in the EON stand-by mode.

●When you change the FM station whilst in the EON stand-by mode.

●When a preset call is made.

Notes:

●Whilst the same programme as the specified PTY (or TA) is being broadcast, the

unit will not switch to an ON (other network) station.

●If there are more than two ON stations, compare the strength of signal and tune in

to the station with the strongest signal (EON-AF). If an ON station has been stored

in the preset channel memory, the unit will switch to that channel.

●If you want to leave an ON station tuned in by the EON and return to the station

you were receiving, press the EON button.

●After the unit returns to the original station, the stand-by mode will still be active.

(The “TI” or “PTY” will remain lit.)

●The unit does not switch between ON stations. It returns to the original station.

●If there is any problem with the ON station the unit switched to, “WEAK SIGNAL”

will appear and the unit will return to the original station.

●If the signal from the ON station the unit switched to is very weak, the unit will

search for another station with the strongest signal. However, if the signals from

all stations are weak or not good (due to electrical noise), the unit displays “WEAK

SIGNAL” and returns to the original station.
